Reminds me of a time long ago when a girl at the bar did the same thing to me with her handbag. She flashed the logo and twirled it around a bit and put it over her shoulder and did a little pose. It was nice, she was clearly very excited about her handbag. Might just have been me being young and horny, but I interpreted the situation like she expected me to be really impressed and maybe, you know, make a move on such a classy young lady like herself. Then she leaned in a bit as if to tell a secret, and I was getting fuckin ready to go, and she whispered “it cost 1400€ :P”. It was like a flashbang went off in my mind, so all I managed to do was shout “1400 euros!!! what the fuck is wrong with you!!!”, and she didn’t like that. It was the first time that I can remember that I encountered that kind of luxury. 1400 was like almost twice of what I lived off in a month!

Oh jesus christ, this should be good. We all remember how fun privatizing the electrical grid was, yeah?

These people if anyone are the most based alpha chads in the universe. God damn

Okay I never thought I would say this, but this might be enough decades for one week. I have stuff to do, you know

Hell yeah dude

jesus christ it was right in front of us this entire time

Yeah, it’s was a thing in finland as well. idk what duraseal is, but I assume it’s that self-adhesive plastic wrap stuff (we called it contact plastic or something?). We could only use transparent wrap though, no fun allowed. Still, it was an important ritual I remember. New school year, 15 new books, let’s fucking go!! I was always really bad at it though, so my books would have creased wraps with tons of air bubbles. I thought it was really satisfying, so I’d (poorly) go home wrap my own books just for fun as well.

for real, jesus christ. does “I can’t afford it” mean something else for other people??? I remember I had an acquaintance back when who just didn’t seem to get the concept of not affording something.

“come to the thing!” sorry I’m broke, I can’t afford it. “yeah okay but you could still come” bro what I literally have seventeen cents to my name “oof yeah I get it, but you could come though?” What, just fucking smooth-talk my way in without a ticket? “no man the tickets are cheap, come on, it’ll be fun”

They weren’t even out-of-touch-levels of rich or even all that well off. I never understood, and I never thought to ask them what they think “can’t afford” means. Wild.

Another week where a week happens. The N/T ratio is appearing to be a pretty accurate metric.

I’ve been fucking around a lot with this same stuff on a similar setup (6900XT, sway, M27QP, Arch 6.4 tkg-pds). I managed to make it work more or less flawlessly. Here’s how I did it:

• I use MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% in Steam to run my games.

• When Gamemode runs, it’s configured to enable adaptive_sync, start gpu-screen-recorder, and run a script that sets pp_power_profile_mode to 1 and power_dpm_force_performance_level to high. As @Atemu mentioned, there’s some kind of bug with amdgpu, so by default the power management will be all over the place.

• The built-in frame limiter in some games (e.g. Apex Legends, Risk of Rain 2) can cause stutter for some reason I don’t understand. V-Sync also had stutter and also caused noticeable input lag. The solution was to use MangoHud’s frame limiter with fps_limit=165 in MangoHud.conf.

• This patch fixes the mouse move VRR issue. There’s instructions on how to apply it if you scroll down a bit. If it still doesn’t work right, try launching sway with WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1 sway. No need to disable direct scanout either.

Let me know if it works!
